The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 169
Janice started to panic. "I didn't cheat. Are you going to search me without any evidence? Just because Summer suspected me?"Summer feigned confusion and asked, "Janice, didn't you urge me to cooperate with the teachers just now? So, I can be suspected, but you can't? As long as you didn't cheat, then nothing would happen anyway. Are you scared?"Janice clenched her teeth as she eyed her stationery.Her stationery was all different from what Summer had. The brand was different, and even the designs were different. It was definitely not the ones she had prepared to sabotage Summer.The hairpins were even less of a worry. They were personal items that no one could ever have swapped.On top of that, she had always appeared nice toward Summer. There was no way Summer would have framed her.Just as she was mentally preparing herself, Samuel got impatient. He went over and snatched her pencil case."What are you doing?" Janice instantly shouted."Don't you have a flight to catch? Le

Rose stood in place, but Summer had never even spared her a glance the whole time.Lindsey followed behind Summer, still obviously shaken from everything. "How did things get so bad? Who reported you?""Who knows?" Summer said lazily.What happened to Janice today? Well, she merely suffered the consequences of her own actions.Janice and Rose had spent their days whispering and scheming. Little did they know that Summer had already anticipated their plan from the very start.From the first day Anthony came in as a substitute teacher, Summer knew there were already conflicts between him and Rose. But their plan to take over Hartford Group through Summer was still in motion.Summer had taken precautions just in case. That day in the pantry, she had planted a tiny surveillance device. She was planning on spying on Rose and Anthony, but she unexpectedly ended up with a different finding.After that, Summer allowed the two of them to dig their own graves. She knew Rose and Janice had

"What a load of nonsense!" Henry retorted."Mrs. Hunt, you can't even manage the Hunt family properly. Do you really have the time to meddle in my daughter's affairs?" Kristen asked.Rosanna's face darkened even more when she looked at Kristen. "Kristen, you should be reflecting on yourself instead. The Hartford family has upheld good values for so many generations, so why did you give birth to someone like her? She acts like a mannerless lady. I wonder who she takes after." Rosanna sneered."Kristen, cheating is a serious matter. You should really take better care of Summer," Jessica chimed in as well."So, both of you think that cheating is a bad thing?" Summer asked."Of course! Everyone, just look at this so-called heiress of Hartford Group. She's still acting so clueless, even though she's done something so disgraceful," Rosanna suddenly said loudly."I really am clueless, though. The one who cheated wasn't me." Summer blinked.Henry turned around and asked, "Summer, what

"Summer Hartford!" Rosanna snapped.Summer looked at Rosanna fearlessly. "What is it? Do you still need something?""You…" Rosanna obviously knew that Summer was referring to her when she made that remark.But Summer hadn't mentioned a name. Wouldn't Rosanna be admitting it herself if she refuted it?Rosanna had never suffered such a loss. Even when she dealt with Mason, she was just given a cold shoulder at most. Mason would never anger her so much.Nothing had even been confirmed between Mason and Summer yet. Yet, Summer still dared to treat Rosanna like this. If Mason really brought Summer over to the Hunt family one day, wouldn't Summer trample all over her?"Mom, this old lady seems to be stuttering. I really can't tell what she's trying to say," Summer muttered while holding Kristen's arm.Kristen almost failed to hold back her laughter. It was rare to see Rosanna take such a hit."Mom, Dad, you take one car. I'll take the other with my classmate," Summer suggested.Kris

Summer's smile faded slightly. "What kind of weapon is that? Don't I know exactly what kind of woman my mother is? What Mrs. Hunt's saying is just nonsense."Kristen's gaze flickered slightly.Teenagers usually cared a lot about these kinds of criticisms. On top of them, she had heard Summer cry to Henry before, saying her classmates made fun of Kristen being a mere actress.Summer patted Kristen's hand. "Mom, trust me. You've gotten all the major Best Actress awards in the world, and that's an incredible achievement. Who does that old lady think she is?"After pausing for a moment, she added warmly, "Mom, I'm proud of you, and you'll be proud of me, too. She wasn't wrong. The two of us are alike. We're both the best of the best." Tears started to form in Kristen's eyes. She never expected Summer to say something like that to her. "I'm already proud of you."Summer tilted her head slightly and clasped her hands behind her back. "That's not enough. At the very least, I need to be

Summer, half-asleep, grabbed her phone and looked at it.That so-called older brother of hers who sent her stationery and sent her desserts every day hadn't even sent a single message to her after her exams.Rosanna had only dared to make a fuss today but didn't dare to actually do anything. At least that meant that Mason was fine for now. With those thoughts in her head, Summer fell asleep.After a moment, she seemed to hear someone calling out to her. She struggled to open her eyes as she vaguely made out someone sitting at her window."Summer…""Mason?" Summer jolted up in shock.Mason's white shirt was completely stained red, and his face was full of wounds as well. Beads of blood were constantly dropping from his eyelids."What happened to you?" She immediately tried to run over.But no matter how she tried, she couldn't get close to Mason. Just like that, she watched as Mason slowly lost all signs of life in front of her."Mason!" Summer woke up with a gasp.It was al

Anthony insisted on keeping up the act because he was sure that Summer wouldn't embarrass him in front of so many students.Yet, it was just wishful thinking."I really appreciate the thought, Anthony. But my parents don't allow me to eat anything from outsiders," Summer said. After that, she gave Anthony a polite smile and walked to Lindsey."What's with you and Anthony?" A female student immediately rushed over when Summer reached Lindsey's side."I don't really know him, so how could there be anything between us?" Summer answered.The student clearly didn't believe it. "If there's nothing between you, then why would he get you breakfast? We're already graduating. There's no need to hide it. Just tell me, and I won't tell anyone else.Summer glanced at her.That female student, Tracy Doyle, was a famous loudmouth in the school. Any news that reached her would spread across the entire school within an hour. Summer lowered her gaze and whispered, "Don't overthink it. Anthony a

The students immediately started to make teasing sounds.Summer didn't even glance in that direction, but Anthony really enjoyed the attention.But little did he know that the moment he sat down, a few girls in front started to chat."Anthony is sticking to Summer again!""Girls, I just got some news that Summer and Anthony aren't in that sort of relationship. Apparently, Anthony already has a girlfriend from our school. He only pays so much attention to Summer because he wants to get an internship at Hartford Group's biotech department.""Surely that's impossible. Anthony seems so elegant and classy. How could he do something so tasteless?""There's nothing impossible about it. Hartford Group's biotech department has always been amazing. There are many people who'd kill for a chance to get in."The little group was enthusiastically gossiping about it.Those girls who had been infatuated at the start started to feel disdain for Anthony. They felt like him trying to suck up to S

"What does it have to do with you?" Mason sneered."You…" Snow was shocked by his indifference.She'd just caught them doing something inappropriate. Shouldn't he be panicking? Shouldn't he be begging for her to keep their secret?Then, Mason forcefully pushed the door, shoving Snow outside and slamming it shut.Snow stomped her foot on the ground furiously, but there was nothing she could do. She thought to herself that she would go look for Summer tomorrow. If Mason didn't care, surely Summer would have some shame.Then, with a huff, she yanked up the pajama top that had slid down her shoulders and stormed back to her room.…Early the next morning, Summer woke up, washed up, and went to knock on Mason's door. After that, the two of them went to have breakfast in the dining room.Snow, as a volunteer, was in the dining room as well. When she saw the two of them walk in and how attentive Mason was to Summer, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart."You still haven't gotten

Summer sat on the bed while Mason knelt at the bedside. He carefully applied ointment to her bites with visible concern.Summer reassured him, "It's just mosquito bites. They'll be gone after a good night's sleep.""Plenty of people have gotten sick from mosquito bites," Mason said.Summer reached out, grabbed his wrist, and attempted to pull him up. But she lost her balance and tumbled backward onto the bed, almost dragging Mason down with her.Luckily, he braced himself with both hands on either side of her, narrowly keeping them from falling. Now, he was hovering above her, and their eyes met.The scent of herbal balm filled the room, somehow making for a strange atmosphere."You got bitten on the cheek, too," Mason said as he looked at her face."Don't put that green stuff on my face. It's weird," Summer said."No…" Mason protested.Summer blinked. "It'll be fine. If you're really worried, just kiss it. Saliva has antibacterial properties, too."Mason said nothing as he l

Otherwise, Mason truly didn't know what he would do.Would he try to snatch Summer away? What if she hated him for it? What if she was never happy again because of it?That wasn't what he wanted. All he wanted was for Summer to live a happy, joyful life. Whether or not he was a part of that life didn't seem to matter much."There are some water lilies over there. They might still be in bloom, so let's go check them out." Summer's cheeks were flushed, and she was still slightly out of breath."Alright." Mason nodded.The two of them walked over side by side and even held hands for a while. By the time they reached the water lily pond, Summer let go.There were two couples by the pond. One pair was leaning close to the other, while the other was taking photos.Mason looked at them, finding the scene both dazzling and enviable. Once again, he regretted accepting to pretend to be her brother."Look! There are so many water lilies!" Summer didn't notice Mason's gloom as she grabbed

Once Snow was gone, the other women started to whisper among themselves."I bet she's going to look for Betsy. She probably wants to switch rooms to be next to that handsome guy.""For sure. She probably went to take a shower and doll herself up, too.""She's always throwing herself at guys but still acts so high and mighty. I really don't get what's going on in her head."Summer and Mason had already walked quite far ahead.Summer couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "What do we do, Mason? It looks like that pretty girl has a crush on you."Mason glanced at her.Before she could react, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her hard. "You're very happy, aren't you?"There were quite a few guests walking around the farm at that moment.Summer was startled and tried to break free, but Mason only held her even tighter."Mr. Hunt, it was my fault!" Summer surrendered immediately.Mason said nothing."If that woman comes looking for you, I'll hel
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 385
Mason was visibly pleased when he heard Summer say that there was still plenty of time. He nodded without hesitation.After dinner, Summer and Mason took a leisurely stroll outside.The countryside at night was far quieter than the city. The farmland was in full bloom. With everything growing strong and lush, they walked along a small path, and when they looked up, the sky was filled with stars."There are so many stars!" Summer exclaimed.Mason looked up as well. He wasn't really interested in them. Rather than stars, he was far more interested in looking at Summer."You liked stars a lot when you were a kid," Mason said.Summer looked at him before she shook her head in disbelief. "We met just once when I was young. How much did I tell you?""You told me quite a lot," Mason said.Summer shook her head again. "It looks like I've always been weak to good-looking people. I told you everything, I guess."That made Mason's grin even wider. "So, is that a compliment?""Isn't that

"Hello," Mason greeted politely.Randall instantly lit up with the same warm smile as before. "No need to be so polite. The dishes are almost ready. Would you two like to eat inside the house or out in the open area out front?""What do you think?" Summer asked.Mason never expected that Summer treating him like her brother could have this sort of effect. "Whatever you like.""Let's eat inside first. We can walk around after dinner," Summer said.The owner chuckled and immediately had someone arrange it.It was the summer break, so there were quite a few guests at the farm, but not many were staying overnight.Summer had arrived late. Most people had already eaten and gone out for a stroll.Summer asked Mason softly, "What do you think? Do you like it? We can sleep here and go catch some shrimp tomorrow. There are many fruits and vegetables to pick, too. "When I came with my parents, they almost picked a whole carload and insisted on bringing them home. In the end, they gave

"How would you know where I want to go?" Mason asked with a smile."I just do!" Summer answered confidently.After passing what used to be the flea market, the road opened up into the countryside. Mason could see stretches of fields rolling by.On the way there, a call came in from the company.Summer glanced at Mason before she answered the call.Very quickly, she heard Lionel's voice. "Summer, have you eaten yet?""I still haven't. What's up?" Summer replied. Her tone was totally different from the one she used with Mason."There's a problem with the structure of the Escape From the Asylum project. I kept calling Hunt, but he hasn't been answering. Could you try contacting him later?" Lionel said.Hunt naturally referred to Saul.Ever since the restaurant incident, Saul had rarely shown up at the company. Summer had been so busy lately that the two of them barely crossed paths. Even so, they had kept in touch on the phone."I got it. If it's getting too late and you can't s

Even putting everything else aside, the incident that had taken Xena's life, according to Luke, had been a result of an internal family conflict. Xena had simply been caught in the crossfire.Cynthia had lost Xena—her sister—and then spent years in a vegetative state. If Mason ignored her, that would have reflected really poorly on his character. It would have meant that he had no sense of responsibility.Mason gave her a gentle smile. "That was a close call.""Let's go out for dinner tonight," Summer said suddenly.Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Go out? Aren't you afraid someone might see us?"Of course Mason wanted to, but Summer had always seemed reluctant to be exposed publicly like that.Summer said as she pulled Mason up. "No one will. Take off your suit. I'll bring you to a nighttime flea market. No wealthy folk will be there."Mason looked a little lost. He had never been to such places.While he went to change, Summer pulled out two baseball caps from a drawer an

In the blink of an eye, a busy month came to an end.That afternoon, Summer received a call from her apartment management. Someone from the floor below had complained about a leak from her unit, and they asked her to check it out.Summer immediately drove over.The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she didn't see the neighbor or the property staff. Instead, she was greeted with the sight of a massive bouquet, as well as Mason waiting for her right next to the door."You're back?" Summer's eyes lit up as her face bloomed with joy. She skipped over to Mason excitedly."I thought you said you wouldn't be back until next week?" Summer asked."I missed you so much that I came home early." Mason shifted the flowers aside and opened his arms.Summer lunged into his embrace with a radiant smile, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Welcome back, Mr. Hunt!"Mason held the bouquet with one hand as he gently stroked her head with the other. He lowered his head and kissed Summer on t
